Powering Structural Discovery

Corporate membership in the American Crystallographic Association (ACA) connects your organization directly to a global community of scientists, educators, and practitioners advancing crystallography and structural science. By joining as a Corporate Member, your company or institution gains meaningful visibility, strategic engagement opportunities, and a trusted platform to connect with current and future leaders in the field.

Strengthen the Structure

Whether you are an industry partner, instrumentation provider, publisher, software developer, or research organization, ACA corporate membership is designed to support collaboration, innovation, and long-term relationships within the structural science community.

 

Why Become a Corporate ACA Member?

  • Engage Directly with the Community: ACA corporate members are embedded in a vibrant, interdisciplinary network spanning chemistry, biology, materials science, physics, data science, and emerging methods such as cryo-EM. Membership provides direct access to the people shaping research, education, and applications across academia, government, and industry.
  • Increase Your Visibility: Corporate members are recognized across ACA communication channels and at ACA-sponsored events. This visibility reinforces your organization’s commitment to supporting the crystallographic sciences while helping you reach a highly targeted scientific audience.
  • Support the Field: Your corporate membership helps sustain ACA programs that advance education, professional development, meetings, awards, and outreach. Corporate members play a vital role in strengthening the scientific ecosystem that supports discovery and innovation.
  • Build Long-Term Relationships: ACA membership fosters connections that go beyond traditional marketing or exhibiting. Corporate members engage in ongoing dialogue with researchers and educators, creating opportunities for collaboration, feedback, and partnership.
